Pros

Loved the hours and flexibility, people seem nice enough, and good starting pay

Cons

Managers are super conceited and judgmental! Even if you are overly qualified for the position, prepare to be judged from day one. You'll need a boat, a plane, to be a hockey fan, and eat $18 salads from Porters for lunch to fit in here. People here get stuff done but will judge everything you do and will tell help you very little if you are struggling and will fire you for no reason even though they tell you they won't. Oh and enjoy cold calling "existing accounts" for the rest of your career.

Pros

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Cons

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.
